Question 4.
The number of sunny days in a year for 200 cities are shown in the table.
a) Find the value of x.
Answer:
48
Explanation:
The sum of the cities in the table are,
21 + 25 + 32 + 31 + 24 + 19 = 152
There must be 200 cities,
then 200 – 152 = 48
x = 48
b) Draw a histogram to represent the data. Briefly describe the data.
Answer:
Explanation:
The histogram shows, the number of sunny days in a year for 200 cities.
As we know the histogram is a graphical display of data using bars of different heights.
In a histogram, each bar groups numbers into ranges.
Taller bars show that more data falls in that range.
c) What percent of the cities had fewer than 149 sunny days?
Answer:
10.5%
Explanation:
Total number of cities 200.
The number of cities had fewer than 149 sunny days = 21
The percent of the cities had fewer than 149 sunny days,
x = (21 / 200) X 100
x = 10.5%
d) What percent of the cities had more than 184 sunny days?
Answer:
21.5%
Explanation:
Total number of cities 200.
the number of cities had more than 184 sunny days,
24 + 19 = 43
The percent of the cities had more than 184 sunny days,
x = (43 / 200) X 100
x = 21.5%
The histogram shows the number of cars observed at one intersection at different times of the day. Use the histogram to answer questions 5 to 9.
Question 5.
How many observations are there?
Answer:
820 observations at different time intervals.
Explanation:
Given that, the histogram shows the number of cars observed at one intersection at different times of the day.
As we know the histogram is a graphical display of data using bars of different heights.
In a histogram, each bar groups numbers into ranges.
Taller bars show that more data falls in that range.
Number of observations are as follows,
180 + 110 + 130 + 100 + 80 + 220 = 820
Question 6.
How many fewer cars passed the intersection from 6 A.M. to 7:59 A.M. than from 4 P.M. to 5:59 P.M.?
Answer:
40 observations.
Explanation:
Given that, the histogram shows the number of cars observed at one intersection at different times of the day.
cars passed the intersection from 6 A.M. to 7:59 A.M =180
cars passed the intersection from 4 P.M. to 5:59 P.M = 220
220 – 180 = 40
40 observations shows fewer cars passed the intersection from 6 A.M. to 7:59 A.M. than 4 P.M. to 5:59 P.M.
Question 7.
How many more cars passed the intersection from 10 A.M. to 11:59 A.M. than from 2 P.M. to 3:59 P.M.?
Answer:
50 cars.
Explanation:
Given that, the histogram shows the number of cars observed at one intersection at different times of the day.
cars passed the intersection from 10 A.M. to 11:59 A.M =130
cars passed the intersection from 2 P.M. to 3:59 P.M = 80
So, 130 – 80 = 50
50 cars passed the intersection from 10 A.M. to 11:59 A.M. than from 2 P.M. to 3:59 P.M.
Question 8.
What percent of the number of cars that passed the intersection from 4 P.M. to 5:59 P.M. was observed from 8 A.M. to 9:59 A.M.?
Answer:
50 percent of the number of cars that passed the intersection from 4 P.M. to 5:59 P.M. was observed from 8 A.M. to 9:59 A.M.
Explanation:
Given that, the histogram shows the number of cars observed at one intersection at different times of the day.
cars passed the intersection from 8 A.M. to 9:59 A.M =110
cars passed the intersection from 4 P.M. to 5:59 P.M = 220
220 – 110 = 110
110 / 220 = 0.5
0.5 x 100 = 50%
50 percent of the number of cars that passed the intersection from 4 P.M. to 5:59 P.M. was observed from 8 A.M. to 9:59 A.M.
Question 9.
What percent of the total number of cars that passed the intersection from 6 A.M. to 5:59 P.M. was observed from 4 P.M. to 5:59 P.M.? Round your answer to the nearest percent.
Answer:
73%
Explanation:
Given that, the histogram shows the number of cars observed at one intersection at different times of the day.
The total number of cars that passed the intersection from 6 A.M. to 5:59 P.M = 820
The total number of cars that passed the intersection from 4 P.M. to 5:59 P.M = 220
820 – 220 = 600
(600/820)X 100 = 73.17%
Round the answer to the nearest percent 73%
73% percent of the total number of cars that passed the intersection from 6 A.M. to 5:59 P.M. was observed from 4 P.M. to 5:59 P.M.
The histogram shows the number of books students in a class read last month. Use the histogram to answer the question.
Question 10.
Briefly describe the data. Explain whether the histogram shows any outlier of the data set.
Answer:
Yes, 16- 20 books is outlier of the data set.
Explanation:
The above histogram shows the number of books students in a class read last month.
The gap of no books reading between 16 – 20.
An outlier is an observation that lies an abnormal distance from other values in a random sample from a population.
In a sense, this definition leaves it up to the analyst to decide what will be considered abnormal. Before abnormal observations can be singled out, it is necessary to characterize normal observations.

Question 11.
The sales figures for 60 pairs of one style of shoe of various sizes at a department store are given in the table.
2 pairs of shoes of at least size 9.5 were sold.
a) Find the values of x and y.
Answer:
x = 1
y = 2
Explanation:
Given that the sales figures for 60 pairs of one style of shoe of various sizes at a department store are given in the above table.
The sales figures for 60 pairs of one style of shoe of various sizes are,
8 + 22 + 16 + 4 + 3 + 3 + 1 + x + y = 60
57 + x + y = 60
x + y = 60 – 57
x + y = 3
2 pairs of shoes of at least size 9.5 were sold.
y = 2
x + 2 = 3
x = 3 – 2 = 1
x = 1
b) What fraction of the shoes sold are smaller than size 8?
Answer:
0.783
Explanation:
Given that the sales figures for 60 pairs of one style of shoe of various sizes at a department store are given in the table.
The shoes sold are smaller than size 8 = 1 + 8 + 22 + 16 = 47
Totals shoes sold are = 60
The fraction of the shoes sold are smaller than size 8.
47/60 = 0.783
c) Draw a histogram using the intervals 6-6.5, 7-7.5, 8-8.5, and so on. Briefly describe the data.
Answer:
Explanation:
The histogram diagram shown above is the number of shoes sold of different sizes.
on vertical number of shoes sold and on horizontal line the sizes of the shoes sold.
As we know the histogram is a graphical display of data using bars of different heights.
In a histogram, each bar groups numbers into ranges.
Taller bars show that more data falls in that range.
d) If shoes were to be categorized as follows:
small – sizes 6 to 7; medium – sizes 7.5 to 8.5; large – sizes 9 to 10, draw a histogram for the above data using the new categories.
Answer:
Explanation:
As we know the histogram is a graphical display of data using bars of different heights.
In a histogram, each bar groups numbers into ranges.
Taller bars show that more data falls in that range.
Given that the sales figures for 60 pairs of one style of shoe of various sizes at a department store are given in the table.
So, shoes were to be categorized as small – sizes 6 to 7; medium – sizes 7.5 to 8.5; large – sizes 9 to 10, and the quantities are added to total for small, medium and large.
Number of small shoes are 31
Number of medium shoes are 23
Number of large shoes are 6 pairs.
The total number of shoes are = 31 + 23 + 6 = 60
e) Compare the two histograms. When would each one be more useful?
Answer:
Both are useful,
for exact sale with reference to size first histogram are very useful.
second histogram tells about the small or medium or large size shoes are sold more or less in quantity.
Explanation:
Given that the sales figures for 60 pairs of one style of shoe of various sizes at a department store are given in the table.
for exact sale with reference to size first histogram are very useful.
second histogram tells about the small or medium or large size shoes are sold more or less in quantity as shoes were to be categorized as small – sizes 6 to 7; medium – sizes 7.5 to 8.5; large – sizes 9 to 10, and the quantities are added to total for small, medium and large.
